DC vs MI, IPL 2025: Impact Players And Playing XI Of Both The Teams

IPL 2025: The list of Impact Players for the 29th match of IPL 2025 between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Mumbai Indians (MI) has been announced.

Delhi Capitals, the table-toppers, have arrived at their true home ground as the only unbeaten team this season, winning all four of their matches – two away and two at their temporary home in Vizag.

Everything seems to be going well for DC, with both their batting and bowling departments performing at their best. KL Rahul has been the standout player, continuing his great form with two match-winning innings.

On the bowling front, Mitchell Starc has been impressive with his fast pace, while Kuldeep Yadav has been doing well with the spin.

On the other hand, Mumbai Indians have won just one out of their five matches so far. The opening pair of Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton haven’t been able to give the team good starts, which has been a big concern.

Their bowling hasn’t helped much either. Although Jasprit Bumrah’s return is a boost, Deepak Chahar and Trent Boult’s poor performances have put MI under pressure early in their innings.

Mumbai’s powerplay average of 51.83 is the second-worst in IPL 2025, and they are conceding runs at 11.51 per over in the death overs. Things may get harder for them on the batting-friendly pitch in Delhi.

In their head-to-head record, Mumbai Indians lead Delhi Capitals 19-16, but at this venue, Delhi has won 7 out of 12 matches.

Toss Update: Axar Patel and Hardik Pandya’s Insights

At the toss, Axar Patel said they decided to bowl first because they were unsure about how the pitch would behave. He said:

“We’ll bowl first. We’re chasing well, and it’s the first match over here this season so don’t know how the pitch will play.”

Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya said their team has a lot of experience, and they believe a good performance is just around the corner. He said:

“Conversations are about where we are making mistakes. There’s no lack of experience in this group. We’re not far from having a good game.”
